Square-Enix has utilized motion capture in its most popular titles, including games in its renowned Final Fantasy series, to bring life to the animation of in-game characters and enhance the now obligatory cinematic introduction and plot progression sequences.
According to motion capture specialists Vicon, the publisher selected its 44-camera MX40 system for its performance, accuracy and scalability. In addition, the level of product support, technical assistance and the service from Vicon's regional team played a major role in Square-Enix's decision to adopt the system.
